Another recommendation for Alan (All Locked Out). I rang him with a problem with my front door lock and he talked me through fixing it without needing a locksmith. The next day he called to say he was near me and would I like him to pop round to give me a hand, no charge. Really lovely man and knows his stuff. 07870 199 771.

I just wanted to add my recommendation to what ruffers has said above. Alan was great, turned up as promised etc, but he also made sure I had a way to get in and out of the house when he needed to go and get a part, and that I was comfortable and safe in the house on my own, despite the broken door. Noticed and appreciated.

I would also like to highly recommend Alan. He is a lovely guy and did an excellent job; managed to fix the lock without having to fit a new one and was honest and upfront about everything. Really good value and I will definitely use him again for any lock related problems!


Thanks Alan!

Adding to the long list of recommendations for Alan.

My locks needed changing over a week ago after daughter's bag was stolen; he was on holiday - Because of the high praise here on the EDF I chose to await his return. (He did try to give me details of locksmiths who were available during his absence). Definitely worth waiting for. Supremely efficient, friendly, kept me informed of all stages and the bill at the end was considerably lower than I anticipated. Would use again and recommend without hesitation.

I'm also adding to the long list of satisfied customers. After calling this morning, Alan came round - despite having other jobs away from the area - this afternoon to change my Yale and deadlock. He tried a repair before replacing the deadlock and stayed quite some time to make sure the job was all done properly. Friendly, efficient and the bill was lower than anticipated. Highly recommended

Ok - wow! I have to agree with eveyone above and thank you all for your recommendation.

I just checked out the forum about 2 hours ago as my lock was not working, called Alan (07870 199 771), texted him a picture of the lock, got a quote immediately, and he was here within 30 minutes and replaced the lock just 5 minutes ago. Great guy, and great service. Definitely recommend to anyone.

Apparently he covers all of London, not just East Dulwich.

I'd like to add my recommendation too. A superb locksmith. Alan was very helpful, friendly and efficient. He came today 5/12/2014 and did a fantastic job. He was very reasonable. I agree with all the previous messages. Thanks Alan and thank you East Dulwich Forum. He is also on Check A trade.

Another recommendation from us. We had a few locks that weren't installed properly and we wanted sorted before we went away for Xmas. Alan came around the next day, sorted out the locks and even planed our gate as it wouldn't open properly to the weather.


Nice, trustworthy bloke with very reasonable pricing.

Another recommendation for Alan


Needed lock on bathroom UPVC window fixed


Super prompt, efficient and friendly. He even threw in a free handle as the screw cappings were missing from mine.


Highly recommend and would call him again without hesitation if any similar work needed.


Well done Alan and thanks a lot.

I'd also like to recommend Alan. I tried using Which? Local to find someone but found the recommendations to be out of date, and the coverage for SE London wasn't great. EDF isn't always perfect for recommendations, but I found Alan's details on here and was very pleased.


He changed both front door locks after I had recently moved. He pointed out, very helpfully, that neither lock was "British standard" and therefore the average contents insurance policy would be void for me or any of my neighbours. He was very keen to point out he wasn't up-selling and offered to check my insurance policy, but I completely trust that he was telling the truth. He suggested the cheapest/ best way for me to meet insurance standards.


Once he had the lock he came back, agreed a price up front, stuck to it, did the work efficiently and cleaned up after himself. Also a really nice guy.

Another shout-out for Alan from All Locked Out (07870 199 771). He turned up promptly in an emergency, installed new locks perfectly, and also provided some very helpful general advice on locks and home security, all at a reasonable price. What an expert and real professional. I can't recommend him highly enough.

    • Their food is lovely, but unfortunately the waiting time for it is sometimes so long, even when they don't seem particularly busy, that we no longer go there. We used to just accept it, but seeing people who came in long after us getting their food before us was the last straw after we had waited well over half an hour, if memory serves. It might have been nearly an hour, but I can't remember exactly, it was a while ago. We paid for our drinks (which had come quite quickly) and went to have lunch elsewhere. We reckoned we would get our food quicker that way. We were very  hungry by this time! It's a shame, because we would like to support them as they are a small local business with great food, but there seems to be some problem on the kitchen side (we were assured that our order had been given to the kitchen as soon as we made it - we asked earlier, as we thought maybe it had been forgotten, but no).
    • This is a bit niche 🤣 I like  Kargs cheese and pumpkin seed crispbread, but it's quite expensive even when it's on offer. So when M&S started their own brand,  I used to buy that sometimes. It was different from Kargs, but ok. Then it disappeared from the shelves for ages. I assumed this was due to the supply problems after M&S  were hacked into. So I was quite pleased recently to see it had returned. But it now tastes revolting (in my opinion). I have no idea what was in it before, as I had no reason to look, but on checking the ingredient list now,  the second after wheat flour  is cornflour (?!), and it's also got palm fat, rapeseed oil, cheese powder and potato starch. And some other stuff. Plus some  actual cheese. I can't find anything online to say the recipe was  changed, so maybe my taste buds have suddenly become more sensitive, but after reading this, I'm appalled M&S are selling this rubbish. Has anyone else noticed any changes? I'm assuming they waited some time so customers would have used up what they had and couldn't make a direct comparison, but that might be a hideous slur (if so, apologies to M&S). Kargs use sunflower oil, and have  none of these other weird ingredients. I shall be gritting my teeth and buying only Kargs from now on. Disclaimer 1 : I don't have any shares in Kargs. I wish I did, I might get a discount! Disclaimer 2:  Yes I have many better things to do with my time than post on here moaning about crispbread, but I am having a tea break (just preempting another attack from those people who haven't got better things to do with THEIR  time than post on here to randomly attack other posters for no apparent reason).
